Standing stone (LI019-026011-) 80m to E. Not depicted on any O.S. Maps. Site of an 'old enclosure' described as following; 'Two small old foot-bridges lead by a shaded lane-way from the kitchen to two fields, having a cross-branch of the stream to the east of the first, to which a way also leads past the west side of the garden by other bridges. The more southern field alone gives marks of an old enclosure. The southern field has traces of earthen mounds' (Wardell 1904, 63). No surface remains visible of this 'old enclosure' on Digital Globe orthophotos or Google Earth orthoimagery. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 14 July 2020
